Once you book a reservation on one of the BC ferries from Vancouver to Victoria, you’ll want to start planning your trip. Here are a few tips to help you.
Book ahead
Waiting too long to book one could cost you a lot in last-minute fees and ticket charges. You’ll want to avoid that at all costs. Every dollar you save can go to your trip budget.
Avoid the crowd
The busiest days of the week are often Thursdays and Fridays. If you’re flexible about your dates, you may want to book one of the BC ferries from Vancouver to Victoria on a different day. That way, you can avoid the crowd and all the hassle that comes along with dealing with hordes of stranded and waiting tourists.
Time it right
When you decide to pick trip dates, avoid August. That’s the busiest month, whether you’re coming from Vancouver to Victoria or vice versa, the CBC says. September, in turn, is the second busiest month. If you still want to go during those months, though, then just be aware that you and your friends or family aren’t going to be the only ones playing tourist.
Pick the right ferry
If you want to travel in comfort and style, then scout around for ferry and cruise services. Plenty of these companies may also offer cruise packages so you’ll want to check them out. If you and your trip buddies want to see more of the local area, there’s nothing like a lovely cruise to make you see the beauty of the place. Go and explore local sights when you go on a cruise. A reputable ferry service can make this happen.
Have fun on your trip. Keep these tips in mind to make sure you make the most out your time with family and friends.
